Dehydrated oranges can last for a considerable time, depending on their intended use and how well they are stored.
Here's a breakdown:
-
For Culinary Use: If properly dried and stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, dehydrated orange slices can last for one to two years.
-
For Decoration: If used purely for decorative purposes, dehydrated oranges can last indefinitely.
It's important to note that these timelines are contingent on proper storage. Look for signs of spoilage:
- Mold: If you see any mold, discard the oranges immediately.
- Off Smell: A foul or unusual smell is another indicator that the oranges have gone bad.
